Great line-up again DSS.

Barry's always worth listen, and very keen to hear Kali's take on the loss, and what's ahead. Perhaps he's deliver some barbs at Green too.

I expect Kali's comments on Green v Briggs to be .........volcanic.

[Bobby Sinn]

Moore's report about the QLD HoF's day will be GOLD. Great day had by all.

Interesting to see what Kali is doing....what about Meehan v Tua...huge NZ fight and aussies will buy it

[Bobby Sinn]

Aussies are known to waste their money on sub-par fight promotions....

Value for money would be something different.. hey Ashley.

Has potential, and would be great to see Kali in without another 2 year delay. Trouble is if he did cop a battering from Tua it'd more than likely mean retirement.

Listening to tonight's show as I type this post DSS.

Great interview already (still going strong) with Barry Michael.

Interesting, he mentioned a 'prominent former fighter' told him well before the Green v Briggs bout that he'd seen Briggsy sparring, and that he was that shot Green would have to hold him up for him to last a round!

That was certainly the consensus amongst the punters the afternoon before the fight too of course.

The only good news coming out of that farce fight is that Briggsy's still breathing! Because it couldn't ended a lot sadder, even allowing for the fact that Billy might've had the towel handy and ready to throw.

It could have ended tragically.

Lets hope he gets paid and puts the money into something secure to give him a breather and some peace of mind.

[Bobby Sinn]

A Pyramid Scheme perhaps?? Less risky than fighting again.

[Marcus]

by all the talk on here maybe the only safe place for briggs is a padded room.

if he is so weak and frail he should be wearing a stack hat 24/7

Though he came across as pretty laconic, Kali sounded like he was up for fighting anyone.

The boys mentioned Tua, amongst others, and he was as keen as.

His thoughts on Don King were a laugh. Said Don never contacted him, and when Kali rang Don he'd talk about 'the whole world' but nothing to do with a fight for Kali.

i see meehan was slightly hopeful of getting haye to fight him, and possibly in oz too.

as haye doesn't have to fight the mandatory he can choose anyone. i have seen it mentioned elsewhere that haye might use it as a test for whether he has confidence to fight a klit. although valuev was tall, meehan hits much harder and will test his whiskers more.

i don't believe he will fight a klit ever though.

otherwise he says a sept and oct fight should go ahead in oz maybe against another yank, like a walker etc.

i still think he will improve heaps with the chagaev fight under his belt.

Kali also quoted Mike Tyson "Inactivity kills a fighter"

I think Sakio would agree as well.
